Finding Blocking Code in Async Rust Without Changing a Single Line
📰 Dev.to · Wes
Detect async blocking code in Rust without modifying code, to improve performance and reduce latency
Action Steps
- Use async profiling tools to identify latency spikes and throughput issues
- Run the Tokio runtime with the --debug flag to enable debug logging
- Configure the async runtime to log blocking calls using the tokio::runtime::Builder::build_with_features method
- Test the application under load to reproduce the performance issues
- Analyze the logs to find blocking code and optimize it for better performance
